It doesn't reflect on Todd Haley very well. The Chiefs were not prepared in any way, shape, or form to take the field yesterday. It also doesn't look good when the co-ordinator you fired in the preseason two years ago, comes back as a head coach and hands you your ass.

Looks like the injury to Eric Berry could have him sidelined for a while.

The Detroit Lions are a very smart pick in survivor pools this coming Sunday.

Yep, torn ACL apparently. Really sucks. I'm not a big Chiefs fan but I'm a huge Eric Berry fan. Hopefully this isn't career-ending.

thats an insanely big loss for KC, they will probably be drafting top 5-7 this year.

Sucks i really enjoyed seeing the Chiefs take the step forward last year but with that schedule and the injuries it looks really grim.

What can you do. I was in the planning stages of taking the family to KC to a game in November. Not so sure I want to go now. By myself would be fine. But if the Chiefs are stinking it up, I don't want to take my kids to Arrowhead. I want them to have a similiar experience like I had 20 years ago with a capacity crowd screaming their heads off. Not a half empty stadium booing the offense and defense off the field.

If the bills receivers lit up the Chiefs secondary I would imagine the Lions might put up a few yards. Even if they roll coverage to double Johnson I can see Burleson having a big game. I would image a lot of blitzes to try and disrupt Stafford, although that can also end really badly.

As a Lions fan it is hard not to be to excited since it was been almost 15 years since they had a decent team that is fun to watch and a head coach who doesn't pick the wind after winning the coin toss in OT.

Thats funny (in a sad similarity sort of way). I was trying to get some guys together for a New Years trip to Denver, but between yesterday and the news on Berry I'm holding off. The last thing I want to see is a beat-down at Mile High....

These coaches are just morons these days. 4th and goal at the 1/2 yard line and you throw a lob to a tight end?

Gruden wants to go down there and coach himself!

And it was Jaws that said shyt, not Gruden

I think it was to Hartline who is a WR (at least he was in college), but still a dumb call.

Brady and possibly Henne will have more passing yards (maybe even total offense) than the Raiders/Broncos game combined.

Pretty lousy second game for the double header.

Do you have the winning lotto numbers too? The game hasn't even started yet.
